When someone asks me if I've called the van my answer is "nope." Followed by, "give me a second I'll call em'." Nobody has ever told me I'm supposed to call.
Most FAs call for themselves just assuming they're off to a different hotel.
As to Bar's comments......do... cats.... do cats really have menopause? How can you tell the difference from their normal eratic behavior?
Nothin's changed.
Honestly, 8 or so out of 10 times I just want to be left alone on an overnight. Slam clicker? Yep. It's only taken 12 years to make me that way. It's cheaper and easier that way.
Well except for 2 years as a corporate pilot. We had the boss' credit card, we had a blast with that thing.

Slam clicking works well. I need the time to do my business stuff and sleep. Dinner is always fun, but in conus I generally just chill.

Call the van? I'm probably in the 5%, but I rarely call except for the layovers I know don't start rolling until you ring them. As for the ATL MD captains, my experience is about 50% share in the walk arounds, but that's 50% more than I expect. I look at it as my responsibility and am not miffed in the least if the captain doesn't do them. The 50% also applies to beer purchases (that could be due to being a reserve guy, if you know what I mean), but when I get sent to cover CVG trips that number jumps to 100%.
Nerd, has that tool thread going on (freakin Hilarious) thank god not the Norm around here.

Wrt to the FA's, I ask them if they are going to the layo. If they are, I ask what hotel. If it is the same, I tell em I will call. I call as soon as we are complete and out of the flight deck (out of view of pax) and tell em 10-15. Why sweat it?

I thought to myself, "why the hell am I buying rats!, cats probably taste pretty good to a snake!"
Can you imagine the smell waiting for this rancher when she gets back from a trip? Just sayin!

Maybe it's a base cultural thing, mb times are changing, or mb it's because there are a lot more older dudes, e.g. moi, hanging out in right seats. I'm referring to walk arounds more than anything. The occasional dinner or beer is nice when it happens. Truth be told, I've bought the CA dinner more times then not... but don't let that get out.

Really?
I still owe you a few beers, bro. No dinner required.

BTW (not making this up), Had to stop by the local Petsmart to buy a few feeder rats for my kids snake. Go to the checkout line and there is one of our very own cat ranchers (in uniform) with two carts full of litter and cases of cat food chatting up the cashier about her 5 cats and how hard it is to leave them at home when she "travels the world".

Recommend you look in Brighton, or Brighton Township ( I've been for 10 yrs). Hidden Lake is a very nice place, very nice!, but there are other places just as nice, for less $. Also, you are about 13 min drive from the nearest grocery store. Tis beautiful, but dont "lock" into that area.
